Chapter 628: 28. Burning firewood

"Bang Bang Bang Bang"
The constant sound of machine guns is running around in the small town in the hinterland of Europe. The smell of smoke, blood, and death are mixed together, making this originally unknown town so unpretentious, it seems like real. Like hell.
No one knows why the situation suddenly became worse, as if it was a sleep, the world has changed, the flying beasts in the sky howl, and even the legendary monsters rushed into the city to ravage everyone. The aimless escape, at the worst and worst, the messengers of the gods descended from the sky and announced to them that the believer would be sheltered.
Therefore, the original belief, which became dispensable, became the last life-saving straw in a short time. Many people with unwillingness immediately transformed into loyal followers of a certain faith, and it was safe to be picked up. However, in a city that has broken away from normal order, it is said that they have regained security and lived a very happy life.
In times of war, this is the most happy pursuit.
And Joanna, who had run around with the Slei family more than once, wanted to rush into those churches of whatever gods to be baptized, and take her newly born son to enjoy a stable life, but every time she stood at the door of the church, Joanna would hesitate, Finally turned and left.
Not because of how firm this 19-year-old girl is, but she still remembers everything her boyfriend who has been missing for several days told her.
"Don’t believe those gods... don’t immerse yourself in false beliefs, they are not the kind of gods you believe in... they are just a bunch of swindlers, where you can get nothing!"
Joanna's story is actually not complicated.
As a girl born on Santorini, everything about her is very ordinary, she is not very beautiful, and her figure is not perfect, but has a pair of unique green eyes, which makes the girl who is a waiter in the bar Good luck soon came in, and in an accidental encounter, she became an old man's mistress.
It was a mysterious old man who looked more than 70 years old, but his energy was no different from a 20-year-old young man, and what attracted Joanna most was the unique temperament of this old man, as if it had crossed After a long time, the loneliness independent of the world left behind, which soon caused the emotional Joanna to fall.
The warm feelings made her even willing to give birth to a child for this old man. She once thought she was crazy, because until the child was born, she did not know the name of her boyfriend.
"My name is Carter Shree, remember this name...my little Joanna."
She will never forget the blue flames surging from the old man holding her baby. At that moment, she knew that her boyfriend was really not simple.
But the happy days are always short-lived, and after this world change, Carter Shree left her.
"I'm going to find someone, Joanna."
At the moment when Santorini was occupied by sea monsters, old Carter held his son and took her to the blood on the battlefield where the murloc monster raged. Before leaving, he would Anyway, his son should be in her arms and said to her very sincerely:
"I’m going to use what I have cherished for a bright future for you and my son in the new world... Protect yourself before they come... Protect my son, no matter how much suffering, Keep it up, Joanna... Soon, you will find that this kind of persistence will bring you rewards you can never imagine."
This was the last sentence Carter Shree said to her before leaving, and then he disappeared completely, as if the moment he disappeared, the world became chaotic, and Joanna followed Shree’s family, she Originally thought it was Shilei's junior, but in the conversation with the old patriarch the day before yesterday, Joanna knew that her old boyfriend was a "knight" who had lived for 200 years.
This makes the girl who is not determined, more cherish the remarks left by Shi Lei.
But now, they are trapped in this cross-fire town, where the Sicilian Crusaders and Tuscan believers broke out a terrible war, they accused each other of heresy, no negotiation, no communication, tens of thousands of people Armed with a weapon, he started a crazy fight.
"boom"
The woman next to Joanna was hit by a bullet in a panicked transfer, leaving blood in her heart. She tumbling painfully on the ground, but no one was willing to help her. The girl holding the child looked at the woman’s desperate eyes, She burst into tears, and finally could only say sorry in her heart, and then tried to escape from the battlefield with others.
Death... Never been so close to her!
Outside the window, those crazy cultists screamed fanatical dogma that Joanna didn't understand, armed with automatic rifles, and some even had bombs all over their bodies. Brave people were like the most well-trained soldiers. However, they were in disaster. Before it happened, it may be a gentle teacher, a local decent person, faith... This kind of illusory things, at this moment, completely changed the world.
Make it crazy, make it bad, make it so cold.
"Catch them!"
The leader of the Sicilian Crusaders quickly discovered this group of refugees who had evaded the battlefield. This man, who was originally a major of the Italian army, commanded the elite "knights" under his command and shouted:
"Catch those unbelievers, give them weapons, and let them go to the battlefield! Death in jihad is their best destination!"
Soon, the heavily armed soldiers surrounded Joanna and the people around them. They arbitrarily smashed the old people who tried to rebel with their butts, and the etiquette developed by human civilization did not reflect on them at all, as if In an instant, they returned to the barbaric era with their long swords.
A rude guy saw the sleeping baby in Joanna's arms, and a cruel smile appeared on his face. He strode over and threw out the bayonet on the weapon with a thud, lifting it high.
"Take your little to death, you sad unbeliever! Your soul will suffer in the fire of hell!"
Watching the bayonet shining with cruel light lifted up, Joanna knelt and knelt on the ground, she hugged the child in her arms and cried desperately:
"No... Carter, where are you?!"
This scream not only did not arouse the mercy of the soldier in front of him, but made the fierce light on his face worse, but just at the moment when the bayonet was about to be punctured, a huge black shadow instantly turned this fierce little firefight The town was shrouded.
The rude soldier raised his head in amazement, and saw a huge silver-gray spaceship standing on the sky. It exuded a cold light and completely blocked the sun. Under this obviously modified warship, hundreds of terrible The rapid-fire gun has adjusted its direction.
"Bang bang"
The ruined sky fire fell from the sky, and it took less than 3 seconds to completely bury the thousands of people fighting in this town and inside. In the sky of fire, the blue beam of light shone, a fully armed, dressed in a uniform Soldiers in black uniforms stood outside the Sicilian Crusade Command. In front of the sudden army, the indifferent commander raised his left hand and then fell sharply.
"Bang bang"
After a volley, all the enthusiasts with weapons fell into the pool of blood. The rude soldier looked at the torn wound on his chest, and his body strength was empty at this moment, kneeling weakly. He fell to the ground, and then fell into the pool of blood. There was still blood on Joanna's face, but she looked up and saw the dead soldier. His consternation looked at Joanna's eyes, making the latter suffer. Frightened, he stood up with the baby in his arms.
"Are you Joanna? Joanna Evans?"
The killing of the strange troops made all the refugees in the field calm. They didn’t know how the suddenly appeared soldiers would treat them, and the commander who issued the killing order stepped forward and stood next to Joanna. A photo was repeatedly compared, and then asked:
"Are you the widow of Mr. Carter Shire?"
"Widow?"
Joanna jumped a sorrow in her green eyes, and soon flooded her whole body, tears all over her face. She knew that these people in front of her were the price that her old boyfriend promised for her future... , Is his life.
The deepest love is nothing more.
"The baby in your arms is the blood of Mr. Carter Shire, right?"
The commander looked at the baby who was able to sleep peacefully in the war-filled battlefield. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes. Joanna wiped her tears and hugged her son tighter:
"His name is Carter Shree, the name that Old Shree personally gave him."
"well!"
The commander in front of him was relieved, and he whispered:
"I am Major Beckett of the Utopian Third Army. I am instructed to come and pick you and the overlord's godson back to Utopia. Follow me."
"Overlord? Utopia?"
Joanna froze for a moment, and she asked subconsciously, "What is that?"
"That is the last hope of human civilization..."
Major Beckett replied briefly. He reached out and wanted to hold the child, but Joanna took a step back vigilantly, which made the major embarrassed. He shook his head:
"Relax, the child's identity has determined that no one in this world dares to hurt him!"
"Poof"
Joanna was still stunned. The old man beside her had already kneeled down at the foot of Joanna, pleading with wailing:
"Save us, take us with you, this war-filled land no longer has our place."
Joanna was overwhelmed by this sudden request for help. She was only a 19-year-old girl. She subconsciously turned her attention to Major Beckett. The latter shook her finger, and the soldier behind her stepped forward Put the paper in front of the old man:
"Read!"
The old man glanced at the paper, which was full of blasphemy vocabulary, and it was impossible for any cultist to pronounce it, but for an unbeliever, it was obviously stress-free, he quickly read it again Then he was directed by the soldiers to stand in the safe area, and behind him, the refugees read it one by one.
Of course, there are still those who do not want to read it, then there is no way.
After 15 minutes, in the official residence of the Mexican capital, Joanna, who changed her clothes and took Carter under the leadership of Beckett, walked into the deepest office of the mansion. After the mahogany door opened, Beckett gave a military salute. , Shouting loudly:
"General Lewis! Task Force 7 has completed the mission! The widow of Mr. Carter Shire and the godson of the Overlord have been brought back!"
"well!"
The middle-aged man in a military uniform in a wheelchair beckoned to Joanna. This general, who had been thoroughly washed away from the warfare and became more like a qualified soldier, whispered:
"Come on, little girl, let me see this kid."
Joanna was a little scared. This was normal. In the first 19 years of her life, she had never encountered such a situation, but out of trust in these life-saving benefactors, she was still careful to keep the sleeping little Carter Put it in Lewis' arms.
Lewis looked at the child in his arms, his eyes flashed with dark green flames, and after a fine distinction, he kissed gently on Carter’s forehead:
"The child's future achievements are destined to be extraordinary. Old Carter's will will be rekindled in his body, maybe he can become the next knight."
He hugged the child, raised his head, and looked at Joanna:
"I know you have a lot of questions, girl, I also know that you have doubts about us, which is normal... But in today's world, we must protect you and this child by coercive means, you and the child Carter will be sent to Utopia, where Carter Jr. will grow up with his sister, also there, you will learn about the life of old Carter, I can only say...your husband is a hero, he is a human civilization Has made an unimaginable contribution."
"But I would rather he be alive... instead of dying as a hero, leaving me and Carter alone to struggle to survive in this burning world, I don't want him to be a hero..."
Facing Joanna in tears, Lewis sighed:
"You have lost too much, and so are we... But the world's fuelwood has been ignited. Except for fighting and difficult living, there is really not much we can do."
